                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Forward-looking statements in this report, including without limitation,
statements relating to the Company's plans, strategies, objectives,
expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties including without limitation the following: (i) the Company's
plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change
at any time at the discretion of the Company; (ii) the Company's plans and
results of operations will be affected by the Company's ability to manage its
growth and inventory; (iii) the Company's business is highly competitive and the
entrance of new competitors into or the expansion of the operations of existing

could adversely affect the Company's plans and results of operations; and (iv)
other risks and uncertainties from time to time in the Company's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The accompanying condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to quarterly reports on
Form 10-QSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and changes in cash flows at March 31, 1999 and
for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and foot note data
necessary for fair presentation of financial position and results of operations
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted. It is therefore suggested that these statements be read in
conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to
financial statements included in the Company's annual Form 10-KSB/A. The results
of operations for the periods ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of operating results for the full year.

INVENTORY NOTE AGREEMENT. The company negotiated an inventory note arrangement

Agreement and Mutual Release of All Claims with the franchisee of the Atlanta,
Georgia store, closed in April 1997. In consideration, the Company issued the
franchisee a $59,855 non-interest bearing note and warrant to purchase 17,000
shares of the Company's common stock for $.40 per share. The note is due in 30

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company has experienced severe liquidity shortages beginning in August 1994.
Principal contributing factors to the deterioration of the Company's liquidity
and capital position have been; lower than anticipated retail sales and
profitability due to limited marketing and the need for a new infomercial. The
Company had current liabilities in excess of current assets of $169,051 as of
March 31, 1999, compared with current liabilities in excess of current assets of
$279,361 as of September 30, 1998, and $281,548 as of December 31, 1998.

The Company decreased inventory levels slightly from $90,300 to approximately
$80,150 during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have been decreased from approximately
$213,000 as of September 30, 1998 to $172,800 as of March 31, 1999, primarily
due to an infusion of investment capital.

On December 28, 1998, the Company signed a new note with Eldorado Bank, with an
interest rate at prime plus 3%, with terms as follows: interest only through
January 1999, 1 principal payment of $10,000 plus interest on February 1, 1999,
1 principal payment of $15,000 plus interest on March 1, 1999, 1 principal
payment of $15,000 plus interest on April 1, 1999 and a final principal and
interest payment of $9,585.10 on May 1, 1999. The Company must still rely
primarily on operating cash flow and cash management to sustain its operations.
During the six months ended March 31, 1999, the Company has completed additional
equity financing of $302,500 in private placement and is actively pursuing
additional financing sources. If management cannot achieve its 1999 operating
plan because of sales shortfalls or other unfavorable events, the Company may
find it necessary to further reduce expenses or undertake other actions as may
be appropriate.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to achieve its
1999 operating plan, which contemplates significantly improved operating results
and cash flow and its ability to obtain additional financing. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful in these regards. See "Safe
Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."


              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
              ----------------------------------------------------
                   COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
                   ------------------------------------------

The net loss for the operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was
$120,563 ($.02 per share), compared with a net loss of $75,358 ($.02 per share)
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $289,720 compared with net
sales of $307,735 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in net
sales was primarily due to the decreased sales volume of approximately $10,000
as a result of one former franchise location being acquired by the Company in
January 1999.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Gross margin was 78% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 79% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. Gross margin remained constant at 80% for the six
month period ended March 31, 1999 and 81% for the six month period ended March
31, 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by about $9,800 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1998 due
primarily to approximately $4,500 in additional expenses for building leases and
approximately $4,200 in additional mailing costs for catalogs and post cards.

The Company increased its advertising expenditures during the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 to about $27,500 from about $9,600 in the quarter ending March
31, 1998. The increased advertising expenditure are primarily due to the fall
catalog being delayed until January 1999 when it would normally would have
fallen into the holiday quarter ended December 31, 1998.



             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
             -------------------------------------------------------
                  COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
                  ---------------------------------------------


The net loss for the six month period ended March 31, 1998 was $228,082 ($.04
per share) compared with a net loss of $103,859 ($.02 per share) for the six
month period ended March 31, 1998.

Net sales for the six month period ended March 31, 1999 were $560,984 compared
with net sales of $615,982 for the period ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in
net sales was primarily due to the decreased sales volume of approximately
$10,000 as a result of one former franchise location being acquired by the
Company in January 1999, and the need for a new "infomercial" which is in
production and should be ready for release in the late spring.

Gross margin remained constant at 80% for the six month period ended March 31,
1999 and 81% for the six month period ended March 31, 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $66,000
for the six month period ended March 31, 1999 compared with the six months ended
March 31, 1998 due primarily to the following. Health insurance benefits
increased approximately $6,300 due to a rate increase and more employees
qualifying for coverage; building lease expense increased by approximately
$8,200; legal expense increased by approximately $10,000; mail delivery expense
increased by approximately $6,100 due to increased mailings of catalogs and
travel expenses increased by approximately $5,000 due to increased travel to the
retail stores. Bad debt expense increased by approximately $21,100 for the six
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to six months ended March 31, 1998 due to
an expense reversal in the six months ended March 31, 1998.

The Company increased its advertising expenditures during the six months ended
March 31, 1999 compared with the six months ended March 31, 1998 from about
$38,000 to about $40,500 The increased advertising expenditure are primarily due
to the fall catalog being delayed until January 1999 when it would normally
would have fallen into the holiday quarter ended December 31, 1998. Advertising
as a percentage of net sales increased to 7% for the six months ended March 31,
1998 compared to 6% for the six months ended March 31, 1998.

         YEAR 2000
         ---------

         The Company is currently assessing computer hardware and software
         difficulties that may be experienced in connection with the so-called
         "Year 2000" problems. The Company currently relies upon computer
         hardware and software systems from various third party vendors to
         manage critical functions of the Company. Internally generated software
         systems do not comprise a material element of the Company's information
         technology. The Company is in the process of securing from third party
         software and hardware vendors, including providers of telephone
         services, certificates of compliance with Year 2000 issues for
         currently installed systems that are material to the Company's
         operations. At this time, the Company expects that its key information
         technology vendors will be compliant with Year 2000 requirements. A
         failure by a third party vendor to adequately address the Year 2000
         issue could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition,
         the magnitude of certain risks, for example those associated with
         embedded chips, are unknown at this point, and could nevertheless have
         a material adverse impact on the Company and other companies in its
         industry.
